Comment on Michigan Conference vs. LSU – Right Wing Politics or Truth in Advertising? by Donald DeCamp.
Why do some people insist on bringing God down to their level of understanding. Some seem to believe that God is not capable of doing what He said He did. Trying to make the biblical record fit ones idea of science is actualy dishonoring our creator. If we don’t accept the bible as our only basis for faith and practice, we should join a different church.

LSU Responds to Issues Regarding Dr. Diaz and WASC
Ummm Professor I would suggest you go back and reread my reply. I said it was my NEIGHBOR’s daughter, not mine. Secondly the very issue that almost caused her to lose her faith was THIS very issue under discussion. Evolution versus Creation. She conveyed to us that the professor responsible ridiculed ANYONE who disagreed with him, embarassed them in front of the whole class. In other words, any one that believed God created this planet in six days was attacked.
LSU Responds to Issues Regarding Dr. Diaz and WASC
@Bill Sorensen: Bill, twenty years ago seems almost ancient history. My neighbor’s daughter went to LSU just a few years (5) ago. Her faith was so shaken she almost left the church. If it was NOT for daily conversations via phone with her dad she would have! LSU certainly did indeed undermine this young lady’s faith in what the SDA Church offically teaches.

@Professor Kent: Professor, whether or not we have Jesuits at the GC, SAU or elsewhere is not the issue. The TRUTH is. TRUTH is the issue here and as I’ve already posted, I know what LSU has indeed been teaching our youth.
Northern California Conference Votes to Act Independent of the General Conference
With all due respect Sean Mrs. White makes it clear we are to take Scripture as it is written. It says what it says and words have meaning. IF the term “man” in this case was generic than it makes no sense for Paul to say “MUST be blameless, the husband of one wife” for it is impossible for a woman to be the HUSBAND.

I do believe 1 Timothy 3 is very clear. It starts off with “This is a TRUE saying . . . ” Paul is clearly telling Timothy the order of things to be done within the “hierarchy” of the church. The term translated “bishop” could also have been translated “overseer,” “superintendent,” “guardian,” and even “elder.” And the individual to fulfill such a very important place “MUST be blameless, the HUSBAND of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior . . . ” etc. In his letter to Titus he confirms this order! Not once but twice does God through Paul tell us the order of HIS church. I will not argue with God about this. Everything must line up with THAT understanding. Why? Because God has said so.
